This answer comes super late, but is perhaps still of use for you.
Personally, I prefer Hufvudstadsbladet. It's in Swedish and my Swedish is far from good, but I still feel that among all newspapers in Finland that one has the best investigative journalism, and it does a better job with remaining neutral than other newspapers do. Its only noteworthy bias is that it makes relatively big fuss about small events in small towns if those towns are by majority Swedish-speaking. And since what happens in those towns is largely irrelevant to me, that bias does not really matter. It just means that there is a certain low percentage of news articles that I skip.
Besides that, there's also http://yle.fi/uutiset/tuoreimmat that I like to follow regularly. There was a purge some ten-ish years ago where people who were not good enough friends with the political party Keskusta were removed from all decisionmaking, and that has not been reversed. However, that has apparently not hurt Yle's neutrality in a very bad manner. I dislike Keskusta a lot but Yle's news have not become uninteresting for me, because they are still neutral enough.
